Prediction: wrong Hall   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

I picked Hall, but I would not be surprised at all if Kelvin came away with the upset. Kelvin is really well-rounded, but two areas where he really showed some greatness is his cardio and heart. His fighting spirit, and never-say-die attitude is what I think won him his fights. If Hall is going to win this fight, he has to completely dominate Kelvin from start to finish, and never give Kelvin any shot of getting anything going in the fight what-so-ever.

There is nothing about this fight that says upset. This is gonna be a one sided beatdown with Hall swinging the hammer.

He does have the tools. That's what makes this such an awesome matchup.

Kelvin has the tools and pieces, but he's an unfinished house.  We need to see how both fighters have handled themselves outside of TUF.  Once we see the weigh ins we will have a clearer picture of who is going to show up Saturday night.

Prediction: correct Gastelum   correct Decision  

I'm taking the underdog here. Gastelum is a lot smaller, doesn't have the spectacular knockouts, and just doesn't feel like a superstar the way Hall does. Doesn't matter. He's got a good wrestling game that happens to be Hall's weakness. I think he can easily take Hall down and out-wrestle him to a decision, which I think will happen. Gastelum has been The Ultimate Underdog so far, and he'll surprise again.

Prediction: wrong Hall   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

How is wrestling Hall's weakness? Because I only saw him get taken down once on the show....and he happened to finish the guy shortly after being taken down. Maybe he is bad off his back but I just haven't seen enough of him in a fight on his back to think he has a weakness in that area.

That being said I have doubted Kelvin every fight so if he pulled this one off I wouldn't be too shocked, the kid knows how to win.

Prediction: wrong Hall   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

Seems like if Andrews would have took Hall down before eating his jab for 7 minutes or so he may have had better success. The fact that a guy that hurt and that tired was able to take him down should be a slight cause for concern maybe.

Gastelum is good but Uriah Hall's got that Phillipe Nover-level talent.

This is a good story

Prediction: wrong Hall   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

It's almost like Jones-Sonnen iin only Kelvin is the opposite in terms of personality.  Admittedly not as one-sided tho...
